Marty Butler, Co-Founder and Director of Creativity at Butler Bros in Austin, is an adept visualizer of what's new with a gift for spotting and cultivating rare talent. His collaboration with brother Adam officially began the day he was born – 8/10/74 in Austin Texas, where they shared a room for 17 years. Marty went on to study journalism and design at Texas State, and Adam, communications and leadership at UT.

Both began internships at GSD&M Advertising that morphed into seven-year paid gigs. They had early success and won shiny metal awards for their work for Southwest Airlines, AT&T, Kinkos, The Steel Alliance, 7-11, Pennzoil, The U.S. Airforce, Macaroni Grill and Chili’s.

All along it was never lost on the brothers that they could do things their own way. After examining the industry standard lifestyle they determined it was a ladder they would not climb to the top. So Marty left for the Pacific Northwest to reboot and work on his bear and Adam set out to travel the globe and recharge his depleted creative fuel cell. A year later they reconvened in Austin, this time under their own shingle.

With their first client, Rudy’s Bar-B-Q, new innovation began. They bought a video camera and took a road trip to learn the brand and gather content, yielding a multimedia campaign and new way of approaching work. A hands-on and raw approach to branding truth was born and the brothers have not strayed from their method since.

Their style and success have come from delivering high-quality creative smartly and efficiently. With a growing client roster which includes the LIVESTRONGcampaign, The Legacy Foundation, Jason’s Deli, NetSpend, and Sweet Leaf Tea, to name a few, they partner with those who relentlessly challenge the status quo and seek to transform the world through entrepreneurship.
